This concept of hating tools is sort of silly. Would you ever hear a plumber say they hate that wrench? Nope. You might hear them state that an install job with pex is easier than copper or pvc, and it requires different tools. Like other posters in this thread, I remember back to the "browser wars" between IE and Netscape. There is a gigantic thick book on my bookshelf called Dynamic HTML and it had notations on what methods, elements, etc. worked in what browser. It was much more painful back then to use JavaScript. It is a tool and necessary for web work. You can go crazy with it though and write entire apps using just JS, not sure that would be recommended though, seems hard to maintain.
